Show up, and God will do the rest. He’ll do what you can’t. Just show up.♥️

I love you,

I haven’t felt like posting today. Was wondering why, then I read my journal entry from August 27, 2022. That was the day my brother found my mom unresponsive. Here’s what I wrote on that day:

“Today has been one of those days I saw coming eventually, but didn’t expect is so soon. Honestly, I would like to believe this isn’t it for Momma. That there’s so much more to her story, but I know she’s sooo tired. Tired of fighting all of her ailments, as well as the pain. Lately, she’s been experiencing more pain than usual. It’s become so unbearable that she’s been taking medication she once rarely took, to taking it very frequently because she is in so much pain.”

She was in so much pain. I wish she could’ve lived a little longer. However, I am so glad she’s no longer in pain. The remaining months of her life were like nothing I had ever witnessed—the pain, the surgeries, the transfusions, the hallucinations, the tears, prayers, and fears. It was a lot.

I’m so glad she’s free.🕊️

I often dream about her, and she’s always happy in my dreams.

I miss her so much.♥️

Good Morning☀️

I found the following photo while searching for something to share this morning. I wasn’t feeling any of my Facebook memories.

Now, why I wanted to be 12 pounds heavier is beyond me! If only I could go back and only grab those twelve, but noooo, I had to grab more!😄

My life hasn’t gone anything like I imagined 35 years ago, or 45 years ago! Y’all, I just knew I’d be living like the Jetsons or Buck Rogers by now. I was so looking forward to the “Space Age.” Now, here I am with AI and other technologies, and still a bit hesitant to embrace it all because it’s not at all what I envisioned.

I needed this reminder that life doesn’t always manifest itself as we imagined, but we keep living. I am not bitter or disappointed that it didn’t happen as I thought. Honestly, it’s been way more adventurous and in so many ways, better. I can’t even imagine what the next 35 years will look like. However, I believe I’m going to need at least 200TB of storage to store my treasures.☺️

Thanking God for my journey. It’s been an interesting one for sure. I am truly blessed.

I pray you have a beautiful day. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

All is not lost. Rest assured that God restores and rebuilds.♥️

When we completely release our troubles and worries into God’s hands, stress and anxiety fade away. So, let go and give it all to God. Trust Him to handle what you can’t. He’s got you.♥️

I love you,

Gotta keep showing up. There’s no other option than to do so.♥️

Is your Monday Monday-ing, too?! It’s barely 10:00 AM and I feel like I have already worked a week.😩

Anyhoo… Remember to take a break and breathe. Get up and move, drink some water, and go use the bathroom (don’t keep holding it😁). Your mind and body will thank you.♥️

Love you!

Good Morning☀️

“Change requires change.”

This morning, I was torn between sharing this Facebook memory and one from 2018 that said, “Don’t limit God.” Then it dawned on me that both were actually connected. We limit God when we choose not to change. As we know, change isn’t always easy, and most of the time it requires more work than many of us are willing to put in unless we want it badly enough. However, if we truly want to see God do the impossible, we must be willing to release the limits off Him and be ready to change to align with where He’s taking us.

Question: Are you willing to put in the work to change?

I pray you have one of your best weeks yet! May it be filled with love, peace, patience, and generosity.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

You have come too far to give up or give in. Stay the course. God is working.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
